| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Bar Graphs | Used to compare data in different categories. This is qualitative data. |
| Dot Plots | One of the simplest data plots, used for smaller data sets. They are histogram-like and can be used for either qualitative (categorical) or quantitative data. |
| Frequency Tables | Show the number of time a data value occurs in a set of data. |
| Scatter Plots | Use to plot specific data points from a data set and to show the relationship between two variables in the situation. Relationship between two variables is called the correlation. |
| Histograms | Divide data into equal classes and display the frequency of numerical data values that fall into each class. |
| Shape and distribution + random | Left-skewed: Has a tail of the left side of the histogram and means that the mean will be less than the median, right skewed means that there is a tail on the right side and means will be greater than the median, and bell shaped points are equal m = m |
| Stem-and-leaf plots | Used to show frequency between data values, organize data and quick finding mode and median. Must have a Key. |
| Box and Whisker Plot | There are a 5-point summary of a set of data, they do not include all of the individual data points, and instead they only include the minimum, lower quartile, upper quartile, median, and the maximum. |
| Percentiles | Divide ordered data into hundredths. A data item is said to be in the kth percentile of a data set if the k% if the data are less than the item |
| Percentile - Q1, Q2, Q3 | Q1= 25th percentile, Q2 = 50th, Q3 = 75th |
